The Multiple Mini-Interview (MMI) is useful in selecting undergraduate medical trainees. Postgraduate applicant pools have smaller numbers of more homogeneous candidates that must be actively recruited while being assessed. This paper reports on the MMI's use in assessing residency candidates.
Canadian and international medical graduates to three residency programs--obstetrics-gynecology and pediatrics (McMaster University) and internal medicine (University of Alberta)--underwent the MMI for residency selection (n = 484) in 2008 and 2009. Reliability was determined and candidates and interviewers completed an exit survey assessing acceptability.
Overall reliability of the MMI was acceptable, ranging from 0.55 to 0.72. Using 10 stations would increase reliability to 0.64-0.79. Eighty-eight percent of candidates believed they could accurately portray themselves, while 90% of interviewers believed they could reasonably judge candidates' abilities.
The MMI provides a reliable way to assess residency candidates that is acceptable to both candidates and assessors across a variety of programs.
多项迷你面试(MMI)在选择本科医学实习生方面很有用。研究生申请人的人数较少,候选人更加同质化,因此必须积极招募,并在评估过程中进行评估。本文报告了 MMI 在评估住院医师候选人中的使用情况。
2008 年和 2009 年,来自加拿大和国际的医学毕业生参加了三个住院医师项目——妇产科和儿科(麦克马斯特大学)和内科(阿尔伯塔大学)的 MMI 选拔(n=484)。在可靠性方面,候选人和面试官完成了一项出口调查,评估其可接受性。
MMI 的整体可靠性是可以接受的,范围从 0.55 到 0.72。使用 10 个站点可以将可靠性提高到 0.64-0.79。88%的候选人认为他们可以准确地描述自己,而 90%的面试官认为他们可以合理地判断候选人的能力。
MMI 为评估住院医师候选人提供了一种可靠的方法,在各种项目中,候选人评估者都可以接受。
